Cross The Green Mountain Lyrics - Bob Dylan

I cross the Green Mountain 

I sit by the stream 

Heaven blazing in my head I 

I dreamt a monstrous dream 

Something came up 

Out of the sea 

Swept through the land of 

The rich and the free 

I look into the eyes 

of my merciful friend 

And then I ask myself 

Is this the end? 

Memories linger 

Sad yet sweet 

And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

Altars are burning 

With flames far and wide 

the foe has crossed over 

from the other side 

They tip their caps 

from the top of the hill 

You can feel them come 

More brave blood to spill 

Along the dim 

Atlantic line 

The ravaged land 

lies for miles behind 

the light's coming forward 

and the streets are broad 

all must yield 

To the avenging God 

Photos 

The world is old 

The world is grey 

Lessons of life 

Can't be learned in a day 

I watch and I wait 

And I listen while I stand 

To the music that comes 

from a far better land 

Close the eyes 

of our Captain 

Peace may he know 

His long night is done 

The great leader is laid low 

He was ready to fall 

He was quick to defend 

Killed outright he was 

by his own men 

It's the last day's last hour 

of the last happy year 

I feel that the unknown 

The world is so near 

Pride will vanish 

And glory will rot 

But virtue lives 

and cannot be forgot 

The bells 

of evening have rung 

there's blasphemy 

on the end of the tongue 

Let them say that I walked 

in fair nature's light 

And that I was loyal 

to truth and to right 

Serve God and be truthful 

Look upward beyond 

Beyond the darkness that masks 

the surprises of dawn 

In the deep green grasses 

of the blood stained woods 

They never dreamed of surrendering 

They fell where they stood 

Stars fell over Alabama 

And I saw each star 

You're walking in dreams 

Whoever you are 

Chilled as the skies 

Keen as the frost 

The ground's froze hard 

And the morning is lost 

A letter to mother 

came today 

Gunshot wound to the breast 

is what it did say 

But he'll be better soon 

He's in a hospital bed 

But he'll never be better 

He's already dead 

I'm ten miles outside the city 

And I'm lifted away 

In an ancient light 

That is not of day 

They were calm they were blunt 

We knew them all too well 

We loved each other more than 

we ever dared to tell
